Batons

Batons believed to be part of the gymnasium equipment of the Artillery Volunteers of Dunbar. Used as athletic aides whilst exercising, these batons doubled up as truncheon-like weapons, should the need ever arise.

These batons were used by the Artillery Volunteers of Dunbar. Embodied in 1855, the artillery volunteers later became the First Haddingtonshire Militia Artillery, part of the Volunteer Force. Around 1907 the unit became part of the Territorial Army and ceased its Dunbar connection.

Baton

This wooden baton dates from Victorian times, and is a policeman's truncheon.

This is a red painted cylindrical wooden Policeman's baton. The initials, 'V R' are painted onto its shaft in gold and black paint. The handle has a hole bored through it, in which string is threaded.

Police officers in Scottish Burghs annually enacted a ceremony after every council election. Their batons were placed on the table before the new council and returned if the officer's performance had been acceptable.

If you want to purchase the best possible baton on the market, go buy an ASP... and pay 4 times as much. If you're not made out of money and want a baton that is well made and can deliver some serious ass kicking then look no further. There isn't much to say about this steel beat stick. It's an extendable steel baton that is used for self defense. The grip is high quality rubber so it won't slip out of your hand when you're about to hit "something." It weights slightly less than a pound. This is great to carry in your car, on your belt, or in your purse. The most impressive part is when you flick your wrist and extend the baton...if listen closely you can almost hear the baton say "back the f* up." A nylon belt sheath is also included for those that want to look tactical. If you have any questions please contact me (North Coast Combatics LLC) through Amazon.
